Kootingal Caravan Park is a small, laid-back park at 3 Churchill Drive, Moonbi, just off the New England Highway and about 15 minutes north of Tamworth. The one fact that decides whether you stop here: dogs are welcome on powered sites and in selected cabins, but only with prior arrangement, which makes it a practical pet-friendly stopover if you are travelling the New England route or visiting Tamworth.
The pet policy. Dogs are permitted on camping and powered sites, in onsite vans, and in designated pet-friendly cabins. You must call ahead on +61 459 447 232 before booking to confirm availability, particularly for cabins, as pet-friendly ones fill quickly. The source material does not specify a set pet fee or weight limit, so confirm both when you ring. Dogs must be kept on lead at all times around the grounds.
The place. Large, quiet, level grounds with a rural outlook. Accommodation options include powered sites, small cabins, and onsite vans. Reviewers consistently describe the amenities as clean, though some note they are dated. The overall approach is relaxed and low-key.
Location and nearby. Within walking distance of Kootingal village, where you will find a local IGA, a pub, and a post office. Moonbi Creek and surrounding grassy areas offer nearby spots for walking dogs. Tamworth is a 15-minute drive south if you want to make a day of it, with options like Oliver Brown for a cafe stop or DECO Wine Bar & Restaurant for an evening meal.

Who it suits. Overnight highway travellers with dogs, caravanners and motorhomers wanting an easy pull-off the New England Highway, and anyone visiting Tamworth who prefers a quieter rural base over staying in town.
Before you book. Free guest parking is available. Access is straightforward off the highway for towed vans and motorhomes. If an updated amenities block matters to you, weigh the consistent clean but dated feedback against the park's other strengths before committing.
When to go. This works as a highway stopover any time of year, but pet-friendly cabins fill quickly, so ring ahead if you are travelling during school holidays or a peak long weekend. A powered site is the safer bet if you need flexibility on short notice.
